Howdy, friends. Last week, I shared this video of the few days I spent near South Lake Tahoe. In honor of my friend Andrea’s birthday, we snuck away to Bear Paw Cabin, a snowy fortress with plenty of snow, a tree house, tournament-sized pool table and hot tub. I learned how to snowshoe and that I do really like show. Here is a peak at the weekend:

I was the first one up. Coffee.

Walk. And then warm up with my feet in the hot tub.

I learned how to make salmon and awesome cilantro butter sauce for it. Oh, and I made Andrea’s favorite, Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Trisha Yearwood style. It was yum-o.
